As much as I sympathize with the sentiment, Drone attacks or assassinations in China by the US is probably a big loss on the cost/benefit scale.

Would it be worse than our nuclear war with Pakistan after we invaded their country to kill Bin Laden?

Pakistan's not China. Pakistan gets massive US funds in aid and the US could destroy its economy in a week. However, the US is in debt to China to the tune of $1.17 Trillion. China wouldn't want war over drug dealers but an attack would force it to save face

And you do realize in the event of war we would selectively default on every penny of that $1+ trillion you mentioned. Who would be bent over the barrel, then?

Just about everyone in the world especially the poor. The consequences of these actions would be massive and unknowable

I'm just saying anyone who thinks China holds the superior negotiating position when they hold the IOU's is wrong. And even China agrees because they've been net sellers our debt for the last several years.

I don't remember seeing anyone saying China has the upper hand. Only that there would be repercussions for assassinating people within China's sovereign territory and that they would be unpredictable and very unpleasant.

What is the historical precedent for killing people that China also wants dead but can’t get it done?

Seems to me they would be silent and thankful. The alternative would be crazy, and they are not crazy.
